6 Naturally Organic Things Your Nana Used That Came From Nature

In grandma’s day, there weren’t any chemical products on the market, so that people were forced to use whatever they had if a problem occurred. Still, this isn’t necessarily bad. Years later, even with these chemical products on the market, people still don’t use them because these natural products work just fine. Why should they change something that might potentially be unsafe if a natural product that is not unsafe works? Plus, these chemical products can often cost more than their natural counterparts.

They would use products and food that they had around the house to cure sores, pimples, bad breath, ingrown hairs and more. Most Nanas believe that chemicals and anything else that’s new on the market is unnecessary, just like they think that technology is out of this world. Using natural products for cures and beauty treatment is better than using anything else.

Many if not most “home remedies” can be used for other than their specific and first intended purposes. For example, mixed berries, sweet orange, cocoa butter, lemon, anise, sunflower, vanilla, avocado, Rosemary, almonds, jaffa, geranium, and tea tree oil are just a few of the things your grandma might use for various home remedies and that still work for what ails you. In fact, you probably have at least several of them in your home right now.

For example, if you’ve got digestive problems, drink a little lemon juice every morning to get your digestion working. Add a little bit to a glass of cold water to quench your thirst. It’s much better for you to do this than to drink something that has lots of sugar, preservatives, coloring, and so on. You can also use lemon for flu and cold. In the event you feel a cold coming on, mix a little warm lemon juice with some honey and take a tablespoon three times a day.

Your grandmother probably also likes tea tree oil, and perhaps you remember her putting on some tea tree oil if you hurt yourself. It’s also great for cuts, acne, ingrown hairs, rashes, smelly feet, abrasions, and a lot more. In your own home, keep a bottle of tea tree oil on hand. You’ll be surprised at how often it comes in handy. In fact, you’ll probably wonder how you ever lived without it after a short while.

Don’t spend money on air fresheners that are harsh on your nose; instead, put some fresh rosemary into a basket or vase in each room of your home. It will keep your home fresh smelling, and is also unique. It doesn’t smell like any chemical air fresheners, and instead gives off a natural, clean smell.

Got bad breath? A lot of people suffer from this, even if they brush their teeth several times a day. Sometimes, bad breath comes from stomach problems or thyroid problems, so that the bad breath can’t be helped. However, chewing a few mint leaves should help with your bad breath if you have it, so that you won’t suffer any further problems. Parsley is another remedy for bad breath that you can simply carry with you in the event you need help with bad breath.

If you use natural products, they’ll be more effective and you’ll also feel better using them than you will chemical counterparts. In addition, most natural products don’t have the side effects chemical ones do, so you’ll have no problems and will find them beneficial.
